ET, November 26, 7 a.m.
Long Island, New York, located east of Manhattan, is a truly wealthy area. There is no hustle and bustle of Manhattan here, only the low-key but rich to the core temperament.
Rich manors one after another are scattered on the narrow island, quiet and peaceful.
Paul Schiff had gotten up early in the morning and stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling glass windows, holding a cup of coffee in his hand. While drinking, he looked at the dazzling sunrise in the east and pondered about U.S. stocks and U.S. bonds. , How much will the US dollar correct?
In fact, in the past two years, as the two world empires of Ming and Great Britain have moved from cooperation to confrontation, and the degree of confrontation has continued to intensify, U.S. stocks, U.S. debt, and the U.S. dollar are all "beautiful"! Although Zhuge Weijiu, Louis XVII and the Duke of Marseille really want to build Paris into a white financial center that can replace London, international financial capital is not blind. How big is the United States and how big is France, can they still not see it? Moreover, France wants to destroy creditors at one moment, chop off the heads of wealthy people at another moment, and create an emperor who fights endless wars at the next moment... And just like that, it still wants to become an international financial center?
So when European capitalists saw that Britain might be in trouble, they began to flee to the United States. Paul Schiff, the current generation head of the Schiff family who came out of Frankfurt's Jewish Street to enter the world with his old neighbor upstairs and downstairs from the Rothschild family, brought with him tens of millions of pounds of capital (part of which he (but most of them belonged to the client) came across the ocean to New York, preparing to work hard in the New World.
Because capital and talent from Europe continue to flow to the United States, although the United States has a weird president who wants to close down his country’s central bank, neglects industrialization, and wants to build a country based on agriculture, but The U.S. economy is still doing incredibly well. In the past two years, the United States has undoubtedly been the fastest growing economy in the world, bar none!
U.S. stocks, U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar are, of course, extremely strong, and the Wall Street capital that controls U.S. finance can make money even while lying down... It was just reported last night that the Norfolk Naval Base was bombed by the Japanese. According to Paul Schiff, the news will never interrupt the upward trend of the United States.
Because Americans are "everyone has a gun and are not afraid of war", and their number far exceeds that of the Japanese and Mexican native whites in Texas. Even if the land conflict in Texas escalates into a full-scale war, the United States will win even if it costs lives.
And the Atlantic Ocean is far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, so it is almost impossible for the Ming Dynasty navy to launch a large-scale attack... Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not support the Mexican Empire and the Republic of Colombia as agents.
But the United States is already an industrialized country that can produce its own battleships and armored cruisers. It is definitely not something that the Mexican and Colombian navies, which rely on high-priced arms purchases, can compete with.
Although the "Texas Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force" created by Ming Dynasty without effective agents can cause some trouble for the United States, the long distance has determined that this "Texas Maritime Self-Defense Force" will not be successful in the end.
As long as the United States can force the Ming Dynasty to retreat at home, its national destiny will be over!
Therefore, Paul Schiff is planning to go out early today. He must arrive at the Wall Street office before 9 o'clock, and then hold a meeting with his traders to take advantage of the panic selling caused by the bombing of the Norfolk base. , let’s take advantage of bargain hunting.
Just as he was about to go out quickly, he suddenly heard the voice of his wife, Rutha from another wealthy Jewish family, the Warburg family: "My dear, have you seen it? There are many small ones in the eastern sky. The black spots seem to be flying towards us!"
"Those little black dots in the sky? What kind of seabirds are they?" Paul Schiff squinted and looked in the direction of his wife's finger. He found that there were quite a few of those "little black dots", dozens of them, and they were flying. It went very fast, and in a short while it was almost over Paul Schiff's mansion.
By this time, Paul Schiff had already seen the true colors of those “little birds”!
"Oh God, that's a plane!" Paul Schiff exclaimed.
His wife, Lusa, asked, "Is that our plane?"
"No, that's not our plane," Paul Schiff shook his head, "We don't have such a good plane..."
Paul Schiff has met many American "aircraft inventors" who are looking for investment in the past few months. Although those people have come up with some aircraft that can fly, none of them can compare with those fast ones. Compared with the biplane flying above his head... and as far as he knew, the current U.S. Naval Air Force and Army Air Force did not have such good aircraft.
"Whose planes are these?" Lusa asked.
"Yeah, whose planes are they?" Paul Schiff stared blankly at these planes getting closer and closer, thinking about whose planes these aircraft, which seemed to have excellent performance, belonged to. Which company produces it? Is it on the market? What's the stock price?
While he was concentrating, dozens of planes suddenly appeared getting closer and closer, and then flew almost over the head of Paul Schiff's mansion. Paul Schiff even saw the bombs hanging under the bellies of those planes. And the clover logo under the wing.
"Damn it, it's the Japanese, no, it's the Chinese plane, they're coming to New York!"
Paul Schiff exclaimed, his hand shook, and he couldn't even hold the coffee cup in his hand. It fell to the floor and was smashed. He didn't know how to clean up, so he just ran upstairs until he reached the roof platform of his big house, and then looked up at the group of small planes flying towards Manhattan, New York!
"Oh God, they are going to bomb Manhattan... They are going to bomb the financial center of the United States!" Paul Schiff exclaimed, showing a horrified expression at the same time.
As a capital boss, Paul Schiff knows very well the attitude of capital towards war - of course capital is not anti-war, but they are afraid of cannonballs falling on their heads! And capital also hates the high taxes imposed by governments that are driven to the brink of bankruptcy by high military spending.
That’s why capital on the European continent has been flowing to Britain, which is relatively stable, in the past one or two hundred years, and now it is starting to flow to the United States, which is safer and has better development prospects... But if the United States does not have the ability To ensure the safety of Manhattan, New York, the capital will also have to run away!
If a bunch of bombs fall from the sky every three to five days, which big capitalist will still play with you? No matter how bad Britain is, London hasn't been bombed yet!
When Paul Schiff felt that something was wrong, Lieutenant Feng Mingshan had already flown his two-winged "Double Dragon" over Manhattan, New York, the future city in the white capital circle.
At this time, Manhattan is not yet full of skyscrapers, but buildings with ten floors or less are already densely packed everywhere. At first glance, it looks a bit like Fengmingshan’s new hometown of Shanghai, but it is not as prosperous and tall as Shanghai. The density is also a bit worse.
Plus, there are a lot of construction sites here in Manhattan... literally everywhere, with at least a building or two under construction! You can also feel the vitality of this city... Maybe given time, New York might be able to catch up with Shanghai!
At this time, the voice of Captain Li Zhaoxun came from the headphones Fengmingshan was wearing: "Everyone, we have arrived over New York... Now let's start the free bombing! Remember we only have a quarter of an hour, and we will finish the bombing. Go, don’t stay! Also, be sure to pick a house that looks more expensive to bomb!”
"Yes, sir!" Fengmingshan responded, then stretched his neck to look down, as if he wanted to put a price on the house below...
At this time, someone had already dropped a bomb, and balls of orange-red fire began to rise on the busiest street in Manhattan, New York! Several of the bombs landed in the bank building next to the world-famous "Wall Street"!
